About Me

We want to thank everyone for the kind words they have expressed in the last 24 hours since Linden Homes has launched its first phase of homes. We are delighted so many of you are enjoying the homes, the decor, and especially the feel of community. As part of fostering that community feel, we are going to address two changes that are occurring over the next week or so (and explain our reasoning).
The first is that at 6am SLT on Wed April 17th, we are going to uncheck the box on the Linden Homes estate that allows parcel owners access restrictions to be more restrictive than the estate. Meaning: no ban lines. It's our belief that with a sense of community being a main goal of Linden Homes, ban lines send the wrong message. Parcel owners can still ban troublesome individuals by name on their parcel but they will not be able to put their land in virtual lock down by restricting access to group only.
The second goes hand in hand with parcel access, and that is security devices. We want to allow Residents to fly, walk, drive, sail and explore freely across Bellisseria without compromising Residents privacy and security on their own parcels. To that end we are allowing the use of security orbs. However, since many orbs can be set in ways that preclude even the most innocent of straying across a parcel boundary or being sent home even though you are 500m in the sky we are forced to come up with a compromise.
You may use your personal security orbs or devices in Linden Homes for now, but early next week: we are going to provide you with an approved device via the Linden Homes Content Packs. It will work just as aggressively in protecting your homes from unwanted intrusion, but still reasonably allow Residents to explore without fear of being ejected or teleported home without warning. Once those are added to the Linden Homes Content Packs, the use of other scripted security devices will not be allowed and this will be noted in an update to the Linden Homes covenant.
So, to recap:
- Ban lines will go away for Linden Homes starting 6am SLT on Wed April 17th
- Linden-supplied security orbs will be distributed via the Linden Homes Content Creation Packs early next week
- Personal security orbs/devices will be allowed from the above date until approved security orbs are distributed (and not after)
We’re thrilled you’re enjoying Linden Homes and we’re excited for everything else to come!

Before I make adjustments to some of my flight plans, it will be helpful to know if most security orbs have a meter or feet range to fly over.
Some of my flights can just barely pass over a security orb, without "triggering" the send home or ejection from land.
Some flight plans might as well be called "invalid", when the plane can't make it to the next airport.

I started using a GPS Transponder, to test the accuracy of the flight plan without using a compass.
Some flights make good landings, without reporting a NOTAMS about security orb hazards, to send you home.
Other flights "catch it", this means the security orb caught the plane in-the-act, to start over. Luckily my backup plan is to start using "beacons" over (water), to steer away from orbs & complete the flight. Question 2: Can waypoints be created over water, as leverage for the GPS Transponder to flight plan around the security orbs?

Sorry in advance if this doesn't go here but I can't figure out the correct place to put it. Anyway I have land and I have a security orb which is at around 40m up off the floor on top of my house and have a store at 1000m, I keep seeing the same people teleport to my land and I wondered if they were trying to get into the store. The landing point is clear so it's not sending them to the ground by accident I don't think. My orb is scanning at 256 and is set to parcel only but I was wondering if it's somehow scanning as high as the store? Is that possible? Thanks in advance and sorry again if this is the wrong area.
